Season 4 is really miss for me. I know that Archer was always a flawed agent, but he's written to be so inept now that it's painful to watch. And Mallory married and muted? Such a shame. The characterization is all broken for the sake of gags.

Part of it is they have heavily Flanderized Archer himself, without including any of his funnier qualities. He's just a drunk and asshole. No more closets full of different shade of black turtlenecks, no more weird sexual escapades, no more obsession with Burt Reynolds, or anything else. And the same has happened with all the other characters. They are too one dimensional now.

I think it's been more consistently good than S3, which started off slow but built to an awesome season finale.

But again, even if Archer starts to run the same jokes into the ground--it's still funnier than pretty much anything else I'm seeing on television right now. Any complaints I might have are more in the "This is slightly less mind-blowingly awesome than it used to be" category.

Do they have ads before/after every episode? I know they aired ads before/after the first episode, but I don't know if they continued it. I really don't want to pay for a show and watch ads. I'll just wait for f'n Netflix or Blu Ray if it comes to that. So annoying.

(I can deal with ads on free stuff, and paying for stuff, but not paying for stuff with ads in it.)

They show the same ads before every episode. It's incredibly frustrating. They have ads after, as well, but I don't stick around for them

Episode was kind of weak for me. I did like Cyril's quip towards the beginning - "Treason?" to Mallory's idea of trying to get a reward for the bomb. But overall not a lot happened, and not much opportunity for shenanigans.

Maybe it was more the character from 30 Rock, but I really can't stand listening to her.
